  • Title: Cutaneous lidocaine allergy confirmed by patch testing.
    Author: Kaufmann JM, Hale EK, Ashinoff RA, Cohen DE.
    Journal: J Drugs Dermatol; 2002 Sep; 1(2):192-4. PubMed ID: 12847744.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented of a 55-year old woman who developed an eruption suggestive of contact dermatitis on repeated occasions after receiving anesthesia for dermatologic procedures. Patch testing revealed a positive reaction to lidocaine. Basic structures of anesthetics are reviewed, and the classification of immunologically-mediated allergic reactions is discussed. The presence of cutaneous lidocaine allergy has profound implications for the field of dermatology.
